Einar
While dying father begged me not the boat rocked, I tipped overboard.
Since then, the good could not remain entirely good, but evil in my life was not entirely bad.
Einar know, when nine years old begins his story about himself. Father shall provide him with the words reading the rite of prophecies about the coming of Christ. Right after that, dying and the life of a little boy descends on the track inevitable destination.
Tjostara After the death, at the king, Einar goes to the Benedictine Order in the care of Abbot Yorvik Udarlyka. At the beginning of the stay is not able to acclimatize. In the monastery there is absolute silence, but a terrible crowd. No time is the same, always in someone's company. Boy it is hard to concentrate. Once the issue helped him head to the wind while walking alone on the family lands Vikny. I realize that those days are gone forever. At the time of science decides to close deeply in the memory of his father and his last words. Decides learn a christening, and then see what happens. Still longing for the homeland. His stories about the present are interwoven with images from childhood.
beautiful prose and poetic at the same time in a very nice experience describes. Most recalls trips to the sea, the beauty of the fjords and stories of pagan gods. In memory of loved ones he cites the words of people who were for him a model and a well of knowledge. Still flows in the blood of Viking. None of the anointing, or holy water will not change.
Einar, staying in a monastery, learned from other Oblates that most of them have been placed under the care of the church to serve as slaves, because their parents could not afford to maintain them. Others were paying for a debt. Children who find themselves there with their own will was not there. In such a situation it is difficult to talk about vocation. Dubbed the Viking felt torn inside. Before the ceremony complained that we do not fully understand all the teachings of the monastery. reception of communion is the only bright particles eaten bread, nothing more.
Einar took the road to the priesthood. In the meantime, he realized that in the convent of mercy rules are only loud. How to get a better look, in life no one uses. Oblates are cruel to each other. He met world conspiracies and hidden laws that bend the rules of faith "for each" task "commissioned by the king, the abbot and archbishop. The goal was always the same - to achieve the greatest power. Einar wandering, he did not know who is. He doubted whether the victim's father was right. He wondered if he did well by changing the faith. Then it took much to heart the words close to his archbishop, who advised: not take the church as it is. Make it from scratch, filling the principle of pure content. And it is trying to make Einar preaching the word of God to the pagan lands of the Vikings. As an apostle, walked from court to court talking to people. This path seemed to him unusual. For the first time the world looked at closely. Women, children, home affairs-yet he did not know such a life. The one that lived with her father was different. Then
monastery discipline its ruling and brotherhood. The life of the mission, which threw him from place to place. In the lands of his native Norway in amazement discovered so home life of the North Men. As if watching the lining of the jacket, the moment they come into your skin. Then he met
Halderd, which gave him strength, while depriving it. When it was true as ever, while ceasing to be themselves. So yes, so desire is the strongest passion, only passion and resurrection of the know- discovered Einar.
Cherezińska in the third part of the "Northern Way" describes the same story as before, but from the point of view of man. This is what gives the novel even more unique is the fact that the man is different in many respects from jarlów midnight. Do not use violence or bloodshed, abhors violence.
As for the author's talent and exquisite prose style, no doubt. It has been said about each of her novels, but these are not idle praise. "Passion Einar" is, among the ballot until now the saga of the Vikings, which I read soon. The cycle is to himself that his separate parts can be read independently of order to show them on the market. Knowing all to happy to say that the author can tell the same story again, still increasing the pace of action and introduce a surprise.
As you read, reading more and more addictive, makes you want more. The more that we learn from Einar things not said, and even had no idea Sigrun nor Halderd. Things unsaid in previous volumes of "Northern Way" no longer taboo. Learning baptized Viking feelings, fears and passions that guided him. We track the impact of the events in shaping the nature of Einar. With it, we experience love and hate, feel the taste of revenge. We watch the death and disease, as well as the miracle of the birth of his two sons, Ragnar and Vandila. We get information about why he married Anna, and what led him repentance. Impress us with his modesty and humility are so many significant spread of Christianity in the period a person that no undoubtedly was. We realize that where baptism was carrying a strong and ruthless ruler, where the church stood strong and never collapsed. can not be built on pure love of the Church-Halderd was aware of that. However, Einar, persevering, strong spirit completed the adoption of destination weddings and the priest built a church on the rock.
The book lacks only the map, which zobrazowałaby path traveled by Einar. It would be a useful signpost for the reader's walking on his footsteps. In suffering, on the border of life and death, with the help of friendly hands, still the goal. By sea and land, to and fro, with a passion for wymarzonemu, while unexpected journey Northern Borderland Road.

A few words from the author:
"I have trouble with writing about writing. Much more exciting is the private life of books, which begins beyond me. So I prefer to listen to what readers are saying about them. Sometimes I am surprised, but I try not to interfere, and, while avoiding answers to questions about the untold stories. [...] The more I write, the harder it is talking to me. When I have to say something about yourself, take refuge in the books. I'm just a comma in a sentence written by himself. "(Source: http://www.cherezinska.pl/, access date: 11/10/2010.).
